South Bends are popular and generally easy to move. Also Texas prices for such machines are higher than other areas. Those are the two pluses. And its a WW2 machine, additional plus.
Down sides, Its a turret lathe, so less popular than an engine lathe or one with a taper attachment. I have this exact lathe but restored, and I truly like it, its just not as popular. Next problem the turret tail stock is missing pieces. There's no adapters in turret head for any tools, and all the adjusting screws, 6 of them, are missing from the end of tail stock. In the pics, compare the turret tail stock to yours, you'll see the missing stuff:
With mine having a decent restore done, and quite a bit of tooling and options I'd probably have to sell for $3000 if I wanted to move it reasonably quick, maybe $3500 if I hold out because of tooling. But I might have to sell tooling separate to get it moved. And thats in TX, might be harder in other areas.
On yours, there is a gear under the tool post being used as a spacer to raise tool post, this would look bad to anyone who knows:
The worst is the motor base has several breaks in it, some have heavy welds, or so it appears. I'd be super unhappy with that as a buyer. In general someone would buy this for parts, or as a long project.
Even with Texas prices higher, I'd guess you
might get $1500 if you hold your ground, but I would not expect it to move it fast.
